The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has released the provisional allotment list for Phase 1 of NEET PG Counselling 2026. This is a critical milestone in the state's postgraduate medical admission process—candidates who registered for MD, MS, PG Diploma, or DNB seats in Kerala can now check whether they have been assigned a college and speciality. However, this provisional list is not final: candidates have a narrow window to flag errors or discrepancies before the final allotment is published. Understanding the grievance process and the next steps is essential to avoid losing your seat or missing important deadlines.
Check your provisional allotment on cee.kerala.gov.in immediately and report any errors by 10 AM on November 2, 2026—this is your only chance to correct mistakes before the final allotment is locked.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the provisional allotment list and why does it matter?
The provisional allotment list is CEE Kerala's first formal assignment of NEET PG seats based on your rank, choice of speciality, and college preferences. It shows which college and branch you have been tentatively allocated, but it is not yet binding. This list exists specifically to allow candidates and the admission authority to catch and correct errors—such as wrong candidate details, incorrect rank entry, or mismatched speciality codes—before the final allotment is issued.
For a NEET PG aspirant, the provisional list is your first real indication of where you may study your postgraduate degree. It is the moment you discover whether your rank and choices have translated into a seat at your preferred institution. However, because errors can occur during data entry or processing, CEE Kerala deliberately publishes this intermediate step to give you a chance to verify accuracy and lodge complaints if needed.

CEE Kerala has set a strict deadline for lodging complaints: 10 AM on November 2, 2026. Any discrepancy you identify in the provisional allotment must be reported to the authority within this window. Complaints received after this deadline will not be considered, so it is critical that you act quickly if you spot an error.
To file a complaint, send an email to ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in with the subject line 'PG Medical- Provisional Allotment Complaints'. In your email, clearly describe the discrepancy you have found—for example, if your rank is listed incorrectly, if your name is misspelled, or if the speciality assigned does not match your choice. Include your registration number and any supporting documentation. CEE Kerala will review genuine grievances and make corrections before publishing the final allotment.
- Deadline: 10 AM on November 2, 2026
- Email address: ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in
- Subject line: 'PG Medical- Provisional Allotment Complaints'
- Include your registration number
- Clearly describe the discrepancy
- Attach supporting documents if available
- No complaints accepted after the deadline
What happens after the grievance deadline?
Once the 10 AM deadline on November 2 passes, CEE Kerala will review all complaints received and verify whether they are genuine. The authority will then make any necessary corrections to the allotment data. This review process typically takes a few days, after which the final allotment list will be published on the same website.
The final allotment list will reflect all corrections made following the examination of grievances. This final list is binding—it determines your actual seat allocation. Candidates whose names appear in the final allotment will then be required to report to their assigned colleges to complete admission formalities, including document verification and registration.
What to do after receiving your final allotment
Once the final allotment is published and you confirm that you have been assigned a seat, you must prepare for the admission process at your college. Gather all original certificates—your MBBS degree, NEET PG scorecard, identity proof, and any other documents specified by CEE Kerala or your college. You will also need photocopies of these documents for submission and verification.
Contact your assigned college to confirm the reporting date and time. Colleges typically provide a window of a few days for candidates to report in person. Failure to report within the stipulated time may result in forfeiture of your seat. Bring all original and photocopied documents, along with any fees required for admission, when you report to the college.
- Gather all original certificates (MBBS degree, NEET PG scorecard, ID proof)
- Prepare photocopies of all documents
- Contact your assigned college for reporting date and time
- Report in person within the stipulated window
- Bring all documents and required fees
- Complete document verification and registration formalities

Common errors to watch for in the provisional allotment
Several types of errors can occur during the allotment process. The most common include misspelling of your name, incorrect NEET PG rank or score, wrong registration number, or a speciality that does not match your choice. Some candidates may also find that they have been assigned to a college they did not rank, or that their allotment does not reflect their actual preference order.
Another frequent issue is a mismatch between the category (General, OBC, SC, ST) under which you applied and the category shown in the allotment. If you applied under a reserved category and the allotment shows you under General, or vice versa, this must be corrected immediately. Similarly, if you notice that your allotment is to a college outside Kerala when you applied only for Kerala colleges, or if the speciality code is wrong, report it without delay.
- Misspelling of name
- Incorrect NEET PG rank or score
- Wrong registration number
- Speciality does not match your choice
- Assigned college not in your preference list
- Category mismatch (General vs. reserved)
- Wrong college location or state
- Incorrect speciality code
Why the provisional allotment matters for your PG journey
The provisional allotment is more than just a formality—it is your first concrete indication of whether your NEET PG preparation and strategy have paid off. For many candidates, this is the moment they learn which speciality and college they will train in for the next 3 years (for MD/MS) or 2 years (for PG Diploma). The college you are assigned to will shape your clinical experience, faculty mentorship, and career trajectory.
By catching and correcting errors at this stage, you protect your seat and ensure that your final allotment reflects your true rank and choices. A mistake left uncorrected could result in an allotment you did not intend, forcing you to either accept an unsuitable seat or withdraw from the counselling process. The grievance window is your safeguard—use it wisely.
Key dates and timeline for Kerala NEET PG Phase 1
The timeline for Phase 1 is compressed and demands your immediate attention. The provisional allotment list has already been released as of November 2, 2026. The grievance deadline is 10 AM on the same day—meaning you have only a few hours from the time the list is published to identify errors and submit complaints. This tight window reflects the need to move the counselling process forward quickly.
After the grievance deadline, CEE Kerala will review complaints and publish the final allotment within a few days. Candidates will then be given a reporting window (typically 3–5 days) to visit their assigned college and complete admission formalities. Missing any of these deadlines can jeopardize your seat, so mark these dates on your calendar and act promptly.
- Provisional allotment released: November 2, 2026
- Grievance deadline: 10 AM on November 2, 2026
- Final allotment: Expected within 3–5 days of grievance deadline
- College reporting window: Typically 3–5 days after final allotment
- Document verification and admission: On or before the reporting deadline

What is the difference between provisional and final allotment in NEET PG counselling?
The provisional allotment is a preliminary list released to allow candidates to verify accuracy and report errors. It is not binding. The final allotment is published after CEE Kerala reviews and addresses genuine grievances. The final allotment is binding and determines your actual seat.
What should I do if I find an error in my provisional allotment?
Email ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in with the subject line 'PG Medical- Provisional Allotment Complaints' before 10 AM on November 2, 2026. Clearly describe the error, include your registration number, and attach any supporting documents. Complaints received after the deadline will not be considered.
Can I download the provisional allotment list if I am not in Kerala?
Yes. The provisional allotment PDF is available on the CEE Kerala website (cee.kerala.gov.in) and can be accessed from anywhere. You can download it, search for your name or registration number, and verify your allotment details online.
What happens if I do not report to my assigned college after the final allotment?
If you do not report within the stipulated reporting window (typically 3–5 days after the final allotment is published), your seat may be forfeited. The college will then move on to the next candidate in the waitlist. You will lose your opportunity to pursue your postgraduate degree in that round of counselling.
Can I change my allotted college or speciality after the final allotment is published?
No. Once the final allotment is published, it is binding. You cannot change your college or speciality at that stage. If you are unhappy with your allotment, your only option is to withdraw from the counselling process, but this will forfeit your seat and you may not be eligible for subsequent rounds.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to my assigned college?
Bring all original certificates (MBBS degree, NEET PG scorecard, identity proof, caste certificate if applicable) and photocopies of each. You may also need to bring any fees required for admission. Contact your assigned college in advance to confirm the exact list of documents required.
Is the provisional allotment the same for all NEET PG candidates in Kerala?
No. Each candidate receives a unique provisional allotment based on their individual NEET PG rank, category, and choice of speciality and college. The provisional allotment list contains all candidates' details, but your specific allotment is unique to you.
What if my name is misspelled in the provisional allotment?
Report this error immediately by emailing ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in before 10 AM on November 2, 2026. Include your registration number and a copy of your NEET PG scorecard or identity proof showing the correct spelling. CEE Kerala will correct this before publishing the final allotment.
Act immediately: download your provisional allotment from cee.kerala.gov.in, verify every detail, and if you find any error, email your complaint to ceekinfo.cee@kerala.gov.in before 10 AM on November 2, 2026. Once the final allotment is published, prepare your documents and report to your assigned college within the reporting window to secure your postgraduate seat.
